Abstract

Parents attempting to follow the DIR/Floortime treatment plan for autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) have a huge amount of information to keep track of. DIR/Floortime is a new treatment plan for children with ASD that emphasizes an individualized, relationship based approach to treatment. A large number of daily tasks are prescribed for the child by the 3-7 clinicians working together to help the child.

The kidSTART software attempts to help the parents keep track of all of the information related to the treatment of their child, and coordinate the many people involved in their child’s treatment. It is also designed to evaluate the effectiveness of different aspects of the program by maintaining a detailed history of the treatment process.
